Mobility For Blind People

EDM number 46 in 2006-07, proposed by John Butterfill on 15/11/2006.

That this House expresses its concern that blind people are excluded from claiming the higher rate mobility component of disability living allowance; believes that blindness should be regarded as an impairment that has a severe impact on a person's independent mobility; notes the substantial extra costs that blind people have to pay to travel by taxi and private hire vehicle; and therefore calls on the Government to reconsider eligibility criteria which exclude blind people from being able to claim this important extra-cost benefit.

This motion has been signed by a total of 261 MPs, 8 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
